ABSTRACT
The paper presents a case of a 71-year-old female patient admitted to the Department due to severe damage to the right ear lobe as a result of a horse bite. The patient was qualified for ear reconstruction using an autologous cartilage graft and an adipocutaneous flap, which resulted in a satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcome. The intervention consisted of two stages of reconstruction, separated by a three-month interval. The described case demonstrates the positive outcomes of this technique and its effectiveness in reconstructing various types of ear injuries.
